This development comes less than 24 hours after Senate President Bukola Saraki held a chat with journalists at the Senate to mark the World’s Press Freedom Day, where he assured the press of the freedom to carry out their responsibilities.
Senate Press Corps have however, protested against the restriction.
Chairman of the corps, Cosmas Ekpunobi, in a petition to the Chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Sabi Abdullahi, urged the management of the National Assembly to rescind the decision.
Ekpunobi noted that the issue could still be resolved through dialogue and urged Abdullahi to prevail on the Senate bureaucracy and leadership to reverse the policy.
